As Recorded By Sam Hodgson
(2025 Release)

Verse 1
Well I Just Keep GChecking My Phone, And Now I′M Checking Again
GFor An Article That Says We've Gone To War With Iran
I Got The DNew York Times Hitting My Line
Feels Like CEvery Twenty Seconds With DAnother Theoretical
GBomb Drop, Or A Dead Cop
Or A Thesis On Believing Or A Killing That Won′T DStop
DA Thirty-Thousand Pound Deterrent Stops The Research
And CTed Cruz Suddenly TurnedD Into A Preacher
So GGo Call Linda Mcmahon
GMiseducate The Population Quick As You Can
She'll DCome Quicker If You Tell Her Something's Turning Kids Trans
CTell The Ayatollah That HisD Fate Is Squarely Out Of HiGs Hands

Chorus
It Ain′T CWorld War Iii, At Least NotG Yet
But The DWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisCcourage You From Betting On IGt

Verse 2
GAnd It's Gonna Be Hard To Tell Your
GChildren That The Country They′Re From
Is On The Right Side Of History When The Others Are DGone
DWhen The Guy We Got Sitting On The White House Lawn
Is A CDictating, Race-HatingD Bigot, Don't You Tell Him He′GS Wrong

Chorus
And He's CNot A King, At Least NotG Yet
But The DWay That Things Are Headed I′
D DisCcourage You From Betting On IGt

Verse 3
GIf You'reD CominGg Home From Your Vacation, Stepping Off Of Your Flight
And You See A Man Approaching Covering All But His DEyes
DYou Better Hope You Caught Him In A Happy Mood Or You're White
′Cause CNext He′Ll Take Your Kids And Cuff
Your DHands And He Won't Read You YourG Rights

Chorus
And He Loves CJesus Christ, The Man FromG Ice
World War DIii′S On The Horizon And
I CReckon We Should Run For OurG Lives
Yeah DWorld War Iii's On The Horizon And
I CReckon We Should Fight For OurG Lives

Verse 4
GIf You′VeD Got GDesigns On Deporting Scapegoats That Say
GThey're Pouring In Across The Border, Staying Too Long
DBut You′Re Having Trouble In Arresting And The People Are Protesting
And They're CSaying What You're Doing′S SoD Goddamn Wrong
Then ReGmember Mass Destruction Is A Tool For
GDeconstructing All The Laws That Are Holding You Back
And This DKind Of Thing′S Been Used Before To Justify An Oil War
That CHappened Couple Years AgoD Back In Iraq
Or It GCould Have Been Afghanistan
GOnce You Went The Line Of Questioning
The Sons Of Bitches Started Gearing Up To AtDtack
DAre You A Traitor, Do You Hate Our Democratic State
CDebate Our Policies In Public Or Are You AD Communist Rat?

Chorus
No ReCpublicans Or Democrats
Will GHave A Route For Fighting Back OnceD You Declare A NationaGl Crisis
Even CBetter, It's A Two-For-One
And GI′D Expect When The War Is Done
We'll DHave A Brand New CIraniaGn Isis

Verse 5
GI′M Trying To Keep My Head Above The
GWater But The World Is Getting Hotter
GWhile I'm Trying To Figure Out Who I Am
I DJust Turned Twenty-Three And It Seems To Me
That CHeading Off To War Doesn′TD Make You A Man
So GNow I Got A Theory And If Anyone Can Hear Me
GWho Has Any Kind Of Proof That I'm Wrong
Speak Your DMind, Or Even Better, Write A Strongly-Worded Letter
My AdCdress Is 1600 PennsyDlvania, You Can Leave It On ThGe Lawn
